AN TAOISEACH AT MAYNOOTH NEW NATIONAL STRATEGY TO GUIDE IRELAND TO 2040
Former Taoiseach Enda Kenny T.D. and former Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government Simon Coveney T.D. launched the Ireland 2040 National Planning Framework at Maynooth University. The plan represents a new approach to planning that will enable political, civic, and business leaders to guide our society and economy over the next 25 years.
The National Planning Framework (NPF) is a high-level and long-term initiative intended to coordinate the strategic planning of urban and rural areas, to secure overall proper planning and sustainable development, and to set out regional spatial and economic strategies and city and county development plans.
Maynooth University has played a key role in the development of the framework, with Professor Jim Walsh, Maynooth University Social Sciences Institute and the National Institute for Regional and Spatial Analysis (NIRSA), credited as a “driving force” behind the project from its earliest stages. Dr Chris van Egeraat, Maynooth University Department of Geography, is on the NPF advisory panel and heads up the Regional Studies Association in Ireland.
